Indians 6, Yankees 3
Josh Tomlin carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and Austin Kearns belted his first home run of the year, a three-run shot in the seventh, to lift the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 victory over the visiting New York Yankees on Monday.
Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer as Cleveland spoiled the return of Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who went 0-for-4 in his return from the disabled list and remained six hits shy of 3,000 for his career.
Tomlin (10-4) lost his no-hit bid when Mark Teixeira led off the seventh with a single. Robinson Cano followed with a single before Nick Swisher drilled a two-run double up the gap in left-center.
Tomlin allowed two runs on three hits in seven innings. Chris Perez finished up for his 20th save
Yankees starter A.J. Burnett (8-7) had allowed two hits through six scoreless frames, but he immediately coughed up the lead in the bottom of the seventh.
Burnett surrendered a two-out RBI single to Shelley Duncan before Kearns' shot to right field put the Indians on top 4-2.
Curtis Granderson homered in the eighth for New York, but Santana answered with his two-run blast.
